Things just got deeper . . .

In the realm beneath the waves, legends tell of a mystic and shadowed people, their stories lost to antiquity after suffering great defeat with the loss of their leader in the War of the Ancients. Yet for all the years since their vanishing into the Abyss, tales of their might and magic are still sung in the above . . . their names whispered in the night as a warning to Salt Children who would dare to swim too deep.

The Unspeakables . . . The Surface Watchers . . . The Shadow Lurkers . . .

For all their rumored names, the abyssal folk care nothing for what those swimming in the above call them. They alone know that their retreat into the shadowed realm of forgotten lore was not to lick their wounds, or suffer lightly in their defeat. Those that time and Salt have named as The Deep Dwellers went into the depths to regain their strength and numbers. To await a sign from the above signaling they should rise and return to power once more . . .

And their sign just arrived.

And the answer isn’t pretty . . .

The Salt Miners

Sentenced to die in an icy, southern labor camp alongside his father, Lenny Dolan didn’t think his situation could get much worse.
Then Henry Boucher showed up.

Except Henry isn’t the only one down in the ice mines with an axe to grind . . . and when a ghost from their past shows up, it may be neither Lenny or Henry have to worry about escaping the labor camp or ever working together again. They’ll need to find a way to live until tomorrow.

The Salt Witch
The Salted Series: Episode 25

Something wicked this way swims . . .

As a Selkie slave, Kellen Winstel vowed over and again to see the surface again. To fight for his freedom and his life. Once a proud athlete and pit fighter champion, Kellen has been lost in the darkness ever since he was betrayed, losing his legs and left to drown.

The silver lining? He is still alive . . . and he has a new Salt form too.

The Deep Dwellers who found and rescued him from death believe Kellen is their former leader resurrected and returned to lead them in ascending to former glory and rule of the Salt Children. Their sea-witch has a plan to weave her dark, Salt magic over Kellen in their sunken temple too, restoring him as their former leader in both mind and body.

Kellen would welcome the new strength and power of such a form to help him escape back to the surface, but he’s more worried about what will happen when The Deep Dwellers discover that Kellen isn’t the fallen and resurrected leader that they believe him to be . . .

Or is he?
